Meeting the Friendly Tiger

MEETING THE TIGER:

The little red train has stopped near a very large tree in the middle of the magical forest. Teddy and the little green turtle are together on the train.

A friendly orange tiger with black stripes is standing next to the big tree, smiling warmly at them. Teddy is asking the tiger for help.

The turtle looks hopeful and happy to see the friendly tiger. The tiger is gently pointing towards a path through the forest, showing that he knows the way home.

Show all three characters and the red train clearly. The large tree must be visible behind the tiger.

CHARACTER AND STYLE DESCRIPTION

He has soft light brown fluffy fur, a round head, small round ears, big expressive dark brown eyes, a small black nose, rosy cheeks and a sweet friendly smile. He wears a bright red bow tie around his neck. He has short, rounded arms and legs and a soft, cuddly body. He always looks kind, curious and cheerful.

His appearance, fur colour, facial features, body proportions and red bow tie must remain exactly the same in every scene.
